Cole's Goals — Summer Into Fall
A working sheet, not a wish list. Each goal has a way to tell if it's actually happening — a goal you can't measure is just a hope.
Make the scores match the ball-striking — break 80 regularly, not once.
Why it matters: the swing is already there; the strokes he's losing are all avoidable.
- How we'll know: no rounds over 84 across a month of play, not a single lucky 78.
- This week: after every practice round, count the doubles — the target is zero.
Own the wedges inside 100.
- How we'll know: an 80-yard shot on the course feels boring, not scary.
- This week: the clock system every warmup; land-it-on-a-towel reps.
A tee shot he trusts under pressure.
- How we'll know: he finds the fairway on the tightest hole of the round.
- This week: the stay-in-the-chair driver drill, plus the 3-wood fairway play on tight holes.
One bad hole stays one bad hole.
- How we'll know: a round where a double is followed by a par or bogey, not another double.
- This week: the "one walk" reset after every bad shot, in practice and on the course.
The one that isn't a skill
Keep the fire pointed forward.
- How we'll know: he grinds through a rough front nine instead of mailing in the back.
- Nobody claps for this one. It's the habit underneath every score on the page.
Pick one target every time he plays or practices, put a number on it, and chase it. The goals don't move — the evidence stacks up.
